The key A. Corticosteroids. [In epiglottitis there is no cough and bark like cough is diagnostic of croup! So the correct key should be a. Corticosteroids. High fever, bark-like cough in a child suggest croup which is treated with corticosteroids. Drooling is sign of epiglottitis which does not match with the question! This is probably a bad recall!].
